The family of accused murderer Karmelo Anthony appears to be amping up allegations of racial bias after reports indicated Wednesday that no black jurors have been selected for Anthony&#8217;s trial.
Anthony, a 19-year-old black male, was charged with first-degree murder after he fatally stabbed high school student Austin Metcalf, who is white, at a track event in April 2025 in Frisco, Texas.
Anthony&#8217;s defense team challenged the prosecution striking potential black jurors from the jury pool, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJFT2uoOscI">according</a> to FOX 4. The judge denied the challenge, since jury selection was not based on race.
A spokesman for the Anthony family, Dominique Alexander, took to numerous social media platforms to complain about the jury selection. On X, he reposted a statement from Next Generation Action Network, an organization for which he serves as president. 
&#8220;The Next Generation Action Network is outraged by today’s jury selection process in the Karmelo Anthony trial,&#8221; the statement said. &#8220;The prosecution used its final strikes to remove the remaining qualified Black jurors from the jury pool, raising serious concerns about fairness and equal justice.&#8221;
&#8220;We respect the court, but we will not remain silent,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;NGAN will continue monitoring this case and informing the public every step of the way. Every person deserves a fair trial and confidence that justice is being administered without bias. We are calling on the court to ensure Mr. Anthony’s constitutional rights are fully protected. <a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://x.com/hashtag/FairTrial?src=hashtag_click">#FairTrial</a> <a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://x.com/hashtag/EqualJustice?src=hashtag_click">#EqualJustice</a> <a class="css-1jxf684 r-bcqeeo r-1ttztb7 r-qvutc0 r-poiln3 r-1loqt21" dir="ltr" role="link" href="https://x.com/hashtag/NGAN?src=hashtag_click">#NGAN</a>.&#8221;

Journalist Sarah Fields reported on Wednesday that no black jurors had been selected, and the jury will not be sequestered for the trial.
&#8220;The jury has been selected in the Karmelo Anthony trial,&#8221; she posted online. &#8220;Karmelo Anthony supporters are angry because there are no African Americans on the jury.&#8221;
&#8220;Also, up until now, we were under the impression that the jury would be sequestered. They were not,&#8221; Fields added. &#8220;This means jurors will return home each day rather than being isolated for the duration of the trial.&#8221;

About two weeks after Metcalf was killed, Alexander held a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/family-of-karmelo-anthony-hosted-the-most-disgusting-press-conference-ive-ever-seen">jarring press conference</a> on behalf of the Anthony family. He stoked racial tensions and scolded Jeff Metcalf, the father of the slain teen, for asking if he could pray with the Anthony family. Metcalf was removed from the presser.
As previously noted by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/family-of-karmelo-anthony-hosted-the-most-disgusting-press-conference-ive-ever-seen">The Daily Wire</a>, Alexander has a disturbing criminal history himself, including a conviction for child abuse involving his girlfriend&#8217;s 2-year-old son, who suffered a brain bleed. He was also indicted in 2019 on a felony family-violence charge involving allegations by a former girlfriend.
The killing of Metcalf has garnered national attention, including scrutiny of the coverage from legacy media, which routinely highlights and escalates white-on-black incidents. In this case, mainstream outlets were largely silent on the incident, seemingly because Anthony is black and Metcalf is white.
According to eyewitness accounts, the confrontation between Metcalf and Anthony began when Metcalf told Anthony to leave his team’s tented area during the track meet. It’s unclear if Metcalf touched Anthony at all before the stabbing. Witnesses told investigators that Anthony threatened Metcalf, pulled out a knife, stabbed him, and ran from the scene. Metcalf later died in his twin brother’s arms.
Anthony admitted to police that he stabbed Metcalf, reportedly telling officers, “I’m not alleged, I did it.”
The 19-year-old is being tried as an adult and is facing life behind bars.
